Overall, I like it, but it's not perfect. My main complaints are: - execline is stupid - s6-rc is not very good - anopa is not very good - s6 is too complicated in places, things like "actually down" with daemon-level support are inelegant and bad With all of that in mind, I still like it and I'd like to plan build a simple service manager around s6 and see how it goes. My plan is to work on another Alpine ISO remix based on some of my ideas and see how well-received it is. It'll look like this: - s6 plus a new service manager - slimmer busybox (stripped down to just POSIX tools) - ubase - shadow (without PAM) - slim static vim build - dash I'll update the ML as I make progress. -- Drew DeVault --- Unsubscribe: alpine-devel+unsubscribe@lists.alpinelinux.org Help: alpine-devel+help@lists.alpinelinux.org ---
